八日中旬‧晴
或者我說這裡是中環區國際知名度最高的茶餐廳，大家應不會異議。
就咁，有看過我近年在公開飲食網站對這裡的食評也知（沒錯，那些食評字數是少，但篇篇也是真意見），我對這裡印象麻麻，覺得越做越差。或者講大家未必信，有一段時間我可是天天也來吃午餐。其實這裡的食物也曾經別具一格，撈公仔麵及豬扒包就是兩味在這裡發揚光大的茶記食品。在這裡供應之前，沒有在其他地方吃過。
插針不下
就在近年已少來，在離開了中環區後更沒有踏足過此地。是日在附近試完菜，想跟杯熱奶茶，一想就想起這裡了。在結志街那邊行上來，我們去的是老店。斯時是週末的下午，可以想像人多的程度，小小的店子少說也塞滿了好幾十人，我們要站在窄窄的門外等候。還好這裡流量快，轉眼已入座。
是我們來的原因
坐的說是二人座，但充其量也只是一人半的位置。我們不算很胖，但也坐得辛苦，我想有很多人是擠進來也有困難的。甫坐下就立即被問及吃什麼，隨口說了奶茶及鴛鴦，本來沒有想過要吃什麼。但原來是日是有「最低消費」的，每人二十元，那就唯有多叫一件厚多士。
遊客勝地
環顧四周，其實百分之九十都是遊客。做過非正式統計，當中以中國大陸及台灣遊客為主，輔以日本及韓國的旅客，洋人只佔很少很少的部份。只見他們人手一本旅遊書，就知道這是當中推介的熱點。在食物方面，他們大多點了豬扒包，還有的是蕃茄薯仔湯底的湯麵，還有的是豬扒包，差不多檯檯也是差不多的。
豬扒包
薯仔蕃茄的湯底
當然對於我來說，這裡的熱奶茶仍然是有水準的。用奶不多而色澤偏深色，聞起來有香味而喝進口有茶香，不算很滑但就是我喜歡的奶茶味道。至於咖啡，總覺得這裡的咖啡不夠厚身也不算香，所以不想喝奶茶的一天會叫熱鴛鴦，更稱心。還記得前幾年某著名食家在電視中介紹過這裡的「茶冰凍奶茶」，對於我來說只是個神話，因為從來未喝過，你喝過沒有？
有茶香
仍不錯
是日吃的是「皇牌厚身多士」，來的時候真的「厚」到你不能置信，在厚度上只是一件平平無奇的多士。要了油多，牛油也是求其的塗一點就算，而多士本身也烘得不脆口。或者就是這樣的，做成行貨又如何？這裡可是早午晚也塞滿人客的，根本不用進步。
平平無奇的「皇牌」
在這裡吃個午餐要四十多，一個「厚」身多士的下午茶餐也要二十二，眼看這裡熱鬧又旺場的情況，其實跟印銀紙差不多。
應該是留給遊客來的地方。

在非繁忙時間,不用等位時吃着快要迫遷的"新景記"的高水準魚片河時,望望對面馬路這裡的人龍,你會覺得很扉而所思的.
回覆刪除only been here once for lunch. The instant noodles were so unremarkable that I wondered what all the fuss was about. Never went back.
回覆刪除「茶冰凍奶茶」- 有, 不過只有其中兩'舊'冰係茶冰, 其餘全部係普通冰.
回覆刪除I've lived in Hong Kong for half my life a long long time ago, but never knew this place existed until after I left. And I only found out because of "Eating out Miracles" TV show with that really annoying host (Mr Chan who hosted HK version of Who Wants to be Millionaire). Even back in 2000/2001, Lan Fong Yuen was popular with tourists. Seems like this is more like a fun place for people (tourist) watching and for writers of HK visitor guidebooks/HK tourism association literature to do research. I think if I were to come here, I would just sit at on the wooden stool, order a hot milk tea, and then say I was here, but not sit down and eat. That butter toast looks like what my grandmother used to eat at Maxim's fast food for breakfast. :-o Thank you KC for your well grounded perspective. I'm sure this place, as overly mainstream as it is now, is better than what we can get in the USA, which is not saying a lot.
回覆刪除It opens a branch at the HK-Macau ferry terminal in Sheung Wan with much more space where you could have breakfast + newspaper. I also ordered a glass of milk tea there, which was superb. And same as you, I ordered the toast only to meet the minimum requirement ($20). OK the toast was just.... a toast. Yet the milk tea alone, in my opinion, worth more than $20. So, ok la~~~
